The recurring motif of the hand explores gestures intertwined with group relationships: the hand that touches, caresses, grasps, manipulates, or strikes. These actions reveal the coexistence of affection and control, the sense of belonging, and the craving for validation. An insight into the ambivalence and paradoxes inherent in group masculinity.
